ANOTHER WIND-BAG PUNCTuRED.

Another dirty little fraud is exposed 1t
has been published, time and again, that the
journal of the last days session of the Senate
of the late General Assembly was not on file
in the office of the Secretary of State, as the
law requires. This fact was made known
almost Immediately after the adjournment on
the 9TH of March last. The discovery was
made by representative of the Journal, who
carefully examined the record to verify an
important point, but failed, after repeated
Something's, aided by the clerks in the office,
to find the last days journal. The journal of
that day not with the other
records. Mr.. w. H. Drapier, the
photographer of the Senate" in whose
name and for whose nominal benefit the petty
$26 so stationery steal was engineered on the
last day of the session, examined the record
several times to find the journal of that day
without success. Mr.. John D. Carter, the
Assistant Secretary of the Senate, after
lapse of nearly sixty days, comes up to the
office of the Secretary of State, and if the
Sentinel is to be believed, succeeds in finding
the missing document which he AYERS to have
been misplaced in the record of tine sixty days
proceedings-that is, it there, but out of
its order. The fool Sentinel, upon this, breaks
out with charge that there was diabolical
Republican scheme to do away with this
record, whereas Republicans have been call
ing attention to the fact of its absence for the
last two months 1t may be possible for the
Sentinel to be sillier than this, but we doubt it.

Excited over a Prospective Duel.

ST LOUIS. May "A special from the City
of Mexico says: I'm all the higher circles of

prospective duel in which the Spanish minister
is concerned. and the hope Is expressed that the
trouble may be settled without bloodshed. On
Saturday night, at ball at the Casino. the
arstocratic Spanish club. among the guests was
the beautiful daughter OF ex-Marshal Bazaine
of France. She escorted TO supper by
Senior Barron. young gentleman of wealth and
position He called from the side of the
young lady by Senior Noriega. who undertook
to chide him. some say Barron says he
cused him of too much familiarity with Miss
Bazaine. At any rate. bitter words were
changed, and scene only avoided by the
timely interference of friends. The Spanish
minister took up the quarrel, friend of the
Bazaine family. on the ground that his country
man had acted improperly in dragging the name
of the young lady into notorlety. Noriega there
upon quarreled with the minister, and made
comments rejecting upon the minister's stand
ing in the Spanish colony. Again blows were
prevented by bystanders The excitement was
intense Men shouted and women screamed.

ALL the prominent Democrats" in Pitts
burg have been candidates for the Office of
pension agent for that district for many wea-
~ months, and the various rivalries and long
continued contest have naturally developed
much friction and hard feeling. Had the
President made an early appointment, much
of the wranglng and bitterness would have
been ted; but because he could not de-
eide what would be best for the administra-
ton he failed to do so. As a result of the
prolonged agony, harmony, which once how
cred like dove over the party there, has
been routed by the warning factions, and will
probably be long in returning. The appoint
ment which has at last been made is too late
to have soothing effect, and will only serve
as an additional grievance against the Presi-
dent, at time too when every grievance

double capacity. An officer of the bank said:
1T is great mistake for any institution to
make one man receiving and pay-teller. In
such case the man has things in his own
hands and there is no check on him. He has
bank to do but rely on his honesty. We have
seen our mistake, and now have a separate
receiving and paying teller" The hint is
worth mbering by bank managers gen.
orally. Personal honesty is a great element
of trustworthiness, but business safeguards
should not be neglected.

the fact that the messenger was compelled 10

1t is the general desire that ladies shall wear

suits at the Booth performance indianapolis
News and Sentinel
These papers mistake the sentiment of the
community. If the Journal knows anything
about the general DESIRE" and it thinks it
does, this desire is that the indianapolis pub
lie shall not make fool of itself over Booth
The cultivated people of this city give prece-
dence to none in their admiration of this actor
and appreciation of his talents, but to the
single promised performance verges on the
ridiculous and savors of pumped-up enthusi-
asm. 1t is proper that the people congratu-
late themselves on his coming, because the
representation of Hamlet by Edwin Booth
is an intellectual treat seldom afforded them.
1t is not necessary, however to indulge in
such extravagant enthusiasm as to create sus-
picion in the mind of stranger that Indian
apolis is unaccustomed to the best in the the
atrical line. 1t is merely stating a fact
to say that the majority of the
audience in attendance at the performance
this evening have Mr.. Booths Hamlet
repeatedly, here and elsewhere, and are famil-
lar with the best the stage can offer to any
public. 1t was not necessary that they should
show appreciation of the actor on this occa-
sion by paying extravagant prices for seats at
the entertainment; the opera house would
have been filled without this, and the room

youths with a secret preference for the Eden
Musee" have kept out. 1t is not necessary
that the audience should array itself in holt
day attire in order to 'do honor" to Mr..
Booth, and to show a due appreciation Of its
privilege in being permitted to listen to him
at more than the market price. Indianapolis
is not a mining town, nor is it in the back
woods, and its people know how to conduct
themselves at theater without special school
ing on the subject. The gentlemen who will
be in attendance can be depended upon not
to go in their shirt sleeves. and the ladies will
not wear sunbonnets and Mother Hubbards."
Further than that, no should presume to
dictate as to their apparel. If a gentleman
in happy possession of ''dress" suit choose
to advertise that fact, no objection will be
offered; but there is reason to believe that
Hamlet will show no excitement at the sight
of this garment, and will address his soliloquy
and other remarks to the assembly with an
impartiality that includes the man in the bus
mess coat and the woman with any hat or
bonnet she happens to own. 1t may also be
remarked, incidentally, that the rule adopted
by theater-goers of good taste in all cities is
to wear the quietest of street costumes full
dress, especially for ladies, rendering the
wearers conspicuous, and objects of ridicule,
even in New York theaters.
